All the examples you gave are pretty obvious to read because of suffixes, called okurigana, or the other kanji next to it. Problem arises only when the kanji stands alone and that doesn't happen so often as people think. Even when it does, most often than not, you can infer the reading from the context.
- gray_-_wolf 4y agoわたし (私） and わたくし (私） is probably my favorite example. Good bless furigana. きょう (今日） and こんにち (今日） is sometimes fun as well.
